Chapter 593: Chapter 587: Flower Spirit
The Wood Spirits of this island aren’t particularly strong or weak, David Jones naturally didn’t expect them to possess top-grade Epic spirit wood of Level VIII Legends.
Difficult to raise a Flood Dragon in shallow water, the concentration of the heavenly and earthly arcane force around the island was almost incapable of nurturing treasures that reach the legendary rank, to have a Class VII Epic spirit wood was already a representation of Daphne’s luck being maxed out to the extreme.
In David Jones’s view, the spirit wood occupied by the Level VI Wood Spirits was basically within Level VI; otherwise, with its middle-level Class VI strength, it really couldn’t keep it safe.
According to the map information displayed by the Gluttonous Beast, the Wastewater Archipelago belonged to the edge of the Coastal West Zone. It was one of the sea routes for sea creatures entering the coast from the open sea and a sea area where the water-type Beasts are generally weaker.
This also led to the fact that most islands of the Wastewater Archipelago had become the territory of Beasts, with the strongest among them being no more than Class VI Kings.
But deeper into the Coastal West Zone, the leader was the Overlord Sea-Covered Whale of Level VII, a terrifying Overlord Beast that could easily whip up waves to obliterate cities.
It was precisely because of the fear of the existence of the Sea-Covered Whale that even the fish-rich borders of the Wastewater Archipelago, at the edge of the Coastal West Zone, no human Trainers dared to venture.
Adopting an attitude of “since we’re here, let’s do this,” David Jones planned to search the forest where the Wood Spirits resided for spirit wood, and by the way, catch a few Wood Spirits to freely roam in the Mesona Space.
If he ever reached a region where Confusion could not be freely exerted, he could rely on the Wood Spirits’ joyful nature towards all wood to seek out top-grade spirit wood with an extremely concealed aura.
“Rainbow, you’re responsible for leading the way in front, Daphne, you’re in charge of fending off the surrounding Beasts.”
As he said this, David Jones wrapped his left arm around Lolo, and with his right hand, pulled out his phone to check it, only to find there was still no signal.
“As for the Gluttonous Beast, you’re in charge of mapping. Plan the route to reach the nearby cities through the signal released by the Trainer Guild official website,” he said.
“Yi!” (“Treasure hunting!”)
Rainbow charged enthusiastically at the front, seemingly having found something good.
…
“Sizzle! Sizz!”
When a fresh piece of beef ribs fell into the sizzling hot oil, the oil splattered, and the crisp sound of oil filled the air with an enticing aroma.
Under the effect of the hot oil and spices, the bloody red color on the surface of the beef ribs quickly turned to a savory brown that made one’s mouth water.
In particular, as David Jones evenly seasoned the meat with cooking wine, dark soy sauce, and light soy sauce, the rich scent of meat made the little guys collectively swallow their saliva.
Especially Loona, who had never eaten David Jones’s cooking, her dragon eyes fixed on the beef ribs, seemingly about to drool.
“Yi!” (“Delicious, deserving of the top-grade beef I caught myself!”)
Rainbow licked her lips, eager and impatient.
Hearing this, David Jones glanced at Rainbow with annoyance.
This little glutton talked about treasure hunting, but on the road, upon seeing the delicate meat of Azure Cattle, she literally couldn’t take another step and insisted on having afternoon tea.
Considering that they had not even been an hour since finishing lunch, how could they possibly be hungry?
“Mu!” (“Don’t eat, don’t eat!”)
On the grassland over a hundred meters from David Jones, a delicate and lovely Beast looked upset and kept mumbling, but lacked the courage to step forward and interrupt.
Upon closer inspection, it was a seven to eighty centimeters tall humanoid Beast, with pink hair similar to flower buds and pointed green ears, looking angry yet exuding a dignified elegance.
In her hands, she held fresh flower pollen, and on her fair skin was a delicate collarbone and a chest so full as if about to burst the flower buds.
There was a pair of transparent thin wings on her back. Under her slender legs were feet vastly different from those of humans. They didn’t have five toes but instead bore some spikes that sparkled with a faint green light under the sun, suggesting they might contain dangerous poison.

“Pet Profile”: Commonly known as Flower Elves, these are a type of pets that enjoy drinking dew, cultivating spiritual flowers, and using the petals for their own evolution. They are extremely timid and can sometimes scare themselves to death from excessive fright.
After viewing the Flower Spirit’s information with his Illusion-Piercing Eye, David Jones arranged the seven portions of rib steaks he had prepared and then sprinkled them with his own hot seasoning made from Level IV spirit wood Orange Flower Chili, to enhance the latent fragrance of the meat.
With the Illusion-Piercing Eye that sees through everything, the Flower Spirit that was stealthily hiding in the flowers naturally couldn’t escape David Jones’s perception.
“Roar?” (Why are there seven portions for six people?)
The Gluttonous Beast glanced around, its three black claws covered in green lightning intending to quietly bring two portions of the rib steaks together, but David Jones pressed it down with a slap of his hand.
“This is for a guest’s lunch.”
No sooner had he spoken than David Jones and Rainbow both turned to look at the nearby flowers, scaring the Flower Spirit so much that it didn’t dare to move.
The Gluttonous Beast rolled its eyes, refusing to acknowledge such a feeble elf as a guest, but it wasn’t going to openly snub the Trainer’s face.
“Flow!” (You can’t see me, you can’t see me!)
The Flower Spirit took a step back, trying to hide its shivering body in the lush undergrowth.
Even its best friend, the Azure Cattle, had been eaten by this group of villains, and if it wasn’t careful, it too might be devoured by these dreadful beings.
“Are we that scary?”
David Jones scratched his head, looking over at Lolo with a hint of incomprehension.
They hadn’t done anything, and this Flower Elf was, perhaps, excessively timid!
“Peep-cheep!” (〃’▽’〃) (Don’t worry, leave it to me!)
Lolo confidently patted its chest, and in an instant, vanished from the spot, appearing next to the Flower Spirit.
Seeing this, David Jones nodded slightly.
As an intelligent local pet with high intelligence, the Flower Spirit should know quite a bit of information about the nearby seas.
Compared to the other little fellows, Lolo, being a fellow plant-type pet, should be able to coax more information out of the Flower Spirit.
“Peep-cheep!”ヽ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ (Hello!)
Lolo waved its small hand in a friendly manner, only to find that the Flower Spirit’s pupils had widened, as if encountering some ultimate demon, and it had passed out on the spot.
Lolo, finding this baffling, could only touch the green leaf on its head in embarrassment, its tiny brain filled with question marks.
What just happened?
“Did Lolo’s Domination frighten this little guy?”
David Jones, who thought he had found the answer, used his Confusion to directly move the unconscious Flower Spirit onto the dining table.
Then he poked its little head with his fingertip and fed it a drop of Lolo’s spirit liquid.
It wasn’t long before the drowsily awakening Flower Spirit just opened its eyes and was startled by the rich meaty aroma and David Jones’s face right beside it.
Its legs kicked out instinctively, unleashing a Toxic Leaf Blade.
